Title: Designing ECG monitoring healthcare system with Federated Learning and Explainable AI
Abstract:
Deep learning plays a vital role in classifying different arrhythmias using electrocardiography (ECG) data. Nevertheless, training deep learning models normally requires a large amount of data and can lead to privacy concerns. Unfortunately, a large amount of healthcare data cannot be easily collected from a single silo. Additionally, deep learning models are like black-box, with no explainability of the predicted results, which is often required in clinical healthcare. This limits the application of deep learning in real-world health systems. To address the above-mentioned challenges, we proposed a privacy-preserving, efficient and interpretable/explainable AI-based end-to-end framework to address the limitations of deep learning applications for EEG signal classification. Firstly, we proposed a CNN-based autoencoder in a federated architecture to denoise the raw ECG signal from patients. When trained on the baseline dataset, The proposed autoencoder provided an excellent reconstruction of the raw input signals and improved the overall performance when applied in federated settings. Secondly, we proposed a new classifier for ECG signals. When the classifier was trained in federated settings it was able to improve the overall classification performance of the edge devices. Moreover, the experimental results on the baseline database revealed that the proposed framework achieved outperformed existing algorithms, including both centralized and federated ones. Furthermore, we extended the usability of our framework by providing a novel explainable module on top of the classifier, whose usefulness is visually demonstrated by showing that clinically meaningful heartbeat segments of ECG signals are indeed behind the classification results. Additionally, we also proposed a communication cost reduction method, which can significantly reduce communication costs while increasing the level of privacy protection of users’ ECG data against the global server. Hence, the proposed framework shows its applicability by providing many desirable properties including interpretability, privacy protection, communication cost reduction, and high accuracy in classification. Such a combination of such properties does not hold for other existing solutions, therefore making the proposed framework a unique solution for real-world healthcare applications where ECG signal classification is an important task. Eventually, the proposed framework will encourage (1) more healthcare data owners to participate in training a good machine learning model for patients and health professionals, with fewer privacy concerns, (2) more accurate diagnostic assistance in places with scarce access to cardiologists or healthcare facilities, (3) more interpretable classification results that can be used to identify new potential patterns leading to trigger heart arrhythmias. Hence, the proposed framework has great potential to be added to hospital computer software platforms to support the work of health professionals and ultimately reduce mortality and save human lives.
